BB GREEN has carried out extensive tank testing at SSPA SWEDEN'swww.sspa.sefacilities in Gothenburg with ASV cat and mono versions. Test results have then been benchmarked against State of the Art (SOA) conventional "wet" hulls. As the comparison graph on hull resistance is showing (see Results); thinking outside the box makes sense! The ASV Mono efficiency is quite unique. The patented technology is owned by Effect Ships International AS).

BB GREEN is about proving feasibility of a new concept; about opening eyes for a new environmental friendly waterborne transport solution.BB GREEN is a hull platform; where a wide range of individual design tastes can be applied to the superstructure design as well as lay-out of the general arrangement. BB GREEN superstructure variants can be anything from ultra- contemporary to more traditional. The freedom to choose remains with the owner/operator. For the prototype/test-vessel a modern Stealth design with large window areas has been chosen. Design: Studio Scully – Mauro Sculli.

Engineering the BB GREEN prototype:

It goes without saying that efficiency and operational weight are closely related. To keep weight down partner Diab AS has prepared a carbon sandwich construction; offering excellent strength and saving several tons over alternative construction methods/materials.
